It was great to be able to vend at my guild's show in Tampa this past weekend. Friends and family pitched in to help us. New aprons made by my sister, Mary, and a custom sling for my broken arm made by my daughter, Melissa, helped brighten up the booth. I exhibited several of my yo-yo quilts and was delighted to see some of my friend's quilts made from my patterns also on display. Next stop will be Savannah, GA for a show March 26-29. No snow please!

Those of you who attended the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, VA, probably noticed we were absent. An unfortunate bad-weather accident on I95 in North Carolina prevented us from making it to Hampton. We are safely back in Florida and recovering. We also will miss the Sewing & Quilt Expo in Lakeland, FL., but plan to be present at the Quilters’ Workshop in Tampa. Hope to see you there.Marcia
